Innosight Transformation 20 Final

Ørsted, a Danish energy company, underwent a strategic transformation after facing a financial crisis in 2012 when gas prices plunged. The new CEO implemented a plan to radically transform the company from "black to green energy" by discontinuing its gas and oil businesses and focusing entirely on renewable energy such as offshore wind power. This strategic change involved both adapting its traditional core business and creating new growth areas. As a result, Ørsted has become one of the world's leading offshore wind companies and its stock performance and profitability have strongly rebounded.
